The Brubeck Brothers Quartet to teach master-class | Los Gatan | Los Gatos, California Imagine being a middle or high school-aged music student who gets to play alongside jazz greats. That will be more than a dream for several local students, thanks to an upcoming workshop organized by ...

US air force denies running simulation in which AI drone โ€˜killedโ€™ operator | US military | The Guardian Denial follows colonel saying drone used โ€˜highly unexpected strategies to achieve its goalโ€™ in virtual test

I read the quote in a few places. Here is one: https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/01/us-military-drone-ai-killed-operator-simulated-test

"The Department of the Air Force has not conducted any such AI-drone simulations and remains committed to ethical and responsible use of AI technology," spokesperson Ann Stefanek said.

"It appears the colonel's comments were taken out of context and were meant to be anecdotal."

A recommendation. A book written by my friends Ron & Clint Howard. Packed full of life lessons, 'The Boys' is candid, confessional, humorous, nostalgic, heartwarming, and entertaining. I highly recommend the Audible version, as each of them reads their own contributions. It's a delightful memoir.

That was fun, wasnโ€™t it? He is still actively painting. It is so special to see his artistโ€™s vision for our future in space just about everywhere in the space business.

I donโ€™t believe thatโ€™s an optimal path to the future you describe. I do share your vision. The image you shared was created by my good friend & neighbor, Rick Guidice. NASA commissioned him in the 70s to capture a vision of our future in space. Itโ€™s just super that his vision remains inspirational.

A recommendation. Please give the AppleTV series Silo a look. It's based on the bestselling trilogy, Wool, Shift, & Dust, written by my friend @hughhowey.com. It raises interesting questions about society, power, & the nature of truth. Check out the many positive reviews if you need more convincing.

Is the Media Outlet's Science Coverage Driven Mostly by Evidence? Is the Science Content Compelling Enough to Read?
